Title: Iconographic-based attribute mapping system and method
Inventor: JOHNSTON JULIA K
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 2008-10-03
Abstract: A method for creating a representation having iconographic elements to represent the attributes of a subject. The method includes defining the at least one iconographic element of the representation, defining the at least one attribute of the subject, associating the at least one attribute with the at least one attribute set, associating the at least one attribute set with the at least one iconographic element, and displaying the at least one iconographic element. Then it is determined whether one of the displayed iconographic elements is selected. If so then each attribute of the associated attribute set is displayed. Optionally, attributes can be defined as being either viewable or non-viewable. If an associated attribute is determined to be a non-viewable attribute then the associated attribute is not displayed. If it is determined to be a viewable attribute then it is displayed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to colour television transmitting apparatus
Inventor: CHEETHAM WILLIAM ROGER
IPC: H04N9/077
Filed: 1954-04-07
Abstract: 806,501. Television. PYE Ltd. April 7, 1955 [April 7, 1954; June 24, 1954], Nos. 10227/54 and 18553/54. Class 40 (3). In an arrangement for generating colour television signals an image of the object 1 (Fig. 1) together with an irradiated image of a filter 3 is focused on the pick-up tube 6 so that, in the output developed across resistor 20, the video signals due to image light passing through the various filter elements are superimposed on a pedestal waveform due to the irradiation of the filter (by lamp circuit 27) which waveform is then employed to produce trains of gating pulses for routing the video signals to separate channels appropriate to filter elements of the same kind. Fig. 2 shows the filter arrangement which comprises sets of elements in the sequence 21 to 26, of which 21, 23 and 25 are transparent to all visible light (T), 22 and 24 transparent to red and blue light respectively (R and B) and 26 opaque (O), resulting, as shown in Fig. 3, in output signals having the video signals due to image light 29 ... 33 standing on a pedestal waveform due to light from 27 passing through the various filter elements T, R, B, O. Referring to Figs. 4 and 5, a separator circuit 35 separates the video signals S from the pedestal waveform F, supplying the former signals (S) via a processing circuit 50 (which introduces any required delay, amplification and D.C. reinsertion) to three gated amplifiers 40, 41, 42 and supplying the pedestal waveform F, via a delay network 36, to pulse forming circuits 37, 38, 39 to produce gating pulses D1, D2, D3 which gate the amplifiers 40, 41, 42 to pass the video signals due to the filter elements T, R and B respectively, the gating pulses, preferably, gating only 15-20 per cent of the video signals. The output signals of the amplifiers 40, 41, 42 may then be matrixed in any desired manner to produce colour signals of the " compatible " or other type. Instead of having the " regular " form shown in Fig. 2, the filter elements may be in wavy lines or in discrete areas, e.g. dots, and may be located inside the pick-up tube.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for boxing cartridges or other elongated articles
IPC: B65B19/34
Filed: 1942-07-24
Abstract: 559,781. Packing. JACKSON, D. R. P., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. July 24, 1942, No. 10393. [Class 94 (i)] A machine for boxing cartridges or other elongated articles comprises a feeding-station for the articles, an endless conveyer which lowers a succession of empty boxes past the feeding-station and has thin blades arranged to enter between successive boxes, and a curved guide which allowsa blade to deflect a box to one side as it enters between two boxes, the deflected box being returned by the guide into position on the blade which had previously moved it aside. The machine comprises two hoppers 9. 10, Fig. 1, of the kind described in Specifications 545,661 and 547,503, [both in Group XXX], from which cartridges are fed through guide tubes 11 so shaped that the cartridges are delivered from the lower ends of the tubes in a substantially horizontal direction. Crown cams 23, Figs. 1 and 5, remove the cartridges laterally one at a time. as described in Specification 559,808, and deliver them to endless chain conveyers 25, which carry them to a filling-platform 28, Fig. 3, where they come to rest one on each side of a vertical rib 29, a reserve accumulating beneath top guides 30. Periodically, a reciprocating plunger 33 moves forward at right angles to the line of the conveyers and pushes a row of cartridges into a box. A plate 34 hinged to the plunger has its forward end 36, Fig. 5, bent downwards and the forward end gives a light pressing movement to each row of cartridges as it arrives in the box. The boxes B, Fig. 5, are stacked in a track 13 formed by angle irons 14, 15 and are moved downwards continuously by conveyer pieces 16 connected to endless chains 17. The pieces 16 comprise thin blades 18 which enter between a pair of boxes by pushing aside the upper box of the pair. Guides 19, forming part of the angle member 15, are so shaped as to allow a box to be pushed aside by a blade 18 and then to guide the box back to its original position where it comes to rest on the blade. The boxes are filled layer by layer as they travel past the filling-platform 28, and the leading box passes around a curved part 40 of the track where it is pushed off the blade 18 by an arm 75 on to a travelling belt conveyer 41. If the boxes are of comparatively flimsy material or of irregular shape, a guiding device may be provided movable with the plunger 33, to open or distend a box at the feeding station. Specification 559,807 also is referred to
